 CHAP. LIX, 



Of the LampaSy 

 •T* H E Lampas is an Excrefcence in the Roof of the 

 -"- Mouth, which hinders a Horfe from Feeding, and hap- 

 pens ufually to young Horfes. It is cured by applying a 

 hot Iron made for that Purpofe, and it is fucceffively per- 

 formed in all Parts of the Kingdom ; fo that there is no need 

 of any Caution, but only that the Farrier do not penetrate 

 too deep, fo as to fcale the thin Bone that lies under the up- 

 per Bars, for that would be attended with very troubleforae 

 and dangerous Symptoms.

 -*■ is, by the bell Judges, lookM upon to be an ill Habir, 

 rather than a Difeafe, which may probably at firft proceed 

 from the Pain and Itching that happens in the breeding of 

 Teeth. There are divers Methods us*d to break a Horfe of 

 this Habit, but the moll approved is, to make him eat in a 

 Place where there is no Manger, tying him with a Buckle 

 to the Wall, and giving him his Oats in a Haverfack.

 Decline of their Age, when the Gums are worn down, 

 the Grinders don't meet one upon another, but grow either 

 outwards or inwards, fo that their Points prick the Gums 

 or Tongue, and hinder a Horfe*s Feeding. The ufual Me- 

 thod of Cure is to open the Horfe's Mouth with the Upfet, 

 and with a Gouge and Mallet llrike off thofe (harp Edges, 

 and afterwards file them down fmooth 5 but it is much fa-
